Get your week started off right by downing a burger, cleaning your palate with a tall boy of PBR and cracking people in the face with the homerun bat in Super Smash Bros. Wii U. There’ll also be Mario Kart 8 on tap, if you prefer your violence to be vehicular.

Here’s something to spice up your week: an excuse to eat tacos. The latest installment in the city’s food of the week for a week series has 31 restaurants serving up individual tacos for $4 to $6 and taco platters from $12 to $18 with 15 per cent of the sales going towards charity partners. That delicious beauty above is from Dairy Lane, who are slinging buttermilk-fried chicken tacos. See the full list of participating restaurants online.

La Pire Espèce drew inspiration from Italo Calvino’s novel, Invisible Cities, which is told from the perspective of Marco Polo returning from a trade mission and describing the cities he saw. “What I loved about it is every description is very, very short,” Cities co-creator Olivier Ducas tells Swerve. “It’s just like a half page, one page max. And it’s this idea that the author, Italo Calvino, is talking to us, about people, but taking it from the side, not directly. And he would talk about some philosophy and some sociology but always just describing a city.” Tickets are $27 to $45.

If you’re worried someone’s going to get all the best titles before you get a chance to pick over the piles, then you should be an early book worm and show up at the kick-off night of the sale on Thursday. That runs from 3-8 p.m., while the rest of the sale runs Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
